Stress relief with homeopathy

I am suffering from stress for the past six months due to work pressures. I heard that homoeopathic medicines can help relieve stress. I want to know how and what can these homoeopathic medicines do? Obviously they can’t eliminate the cause of stress. Then, how can they help eliminate stress?- Sridhar Das, September 2005

Dr. R.K. Manchanda responds
Stress is a part of life but what matters is the individual differences in the reaction to stress. Some people cope but others hyper react and are unable to cope. Homoeopathic medicine has a role in controlling this hypersensitivity to stress. But if the cause of stress is very strong and cannot be removed, then the role of medicine becomes limited till the cause is removed.
